i'm a newbie to this and i'm looking to get a printer so id like to get some recomendations. not sure about the price so i wouldn't want to do something cheap and i dont want the top of the line as theyre probably expensive so something in the middle. also if possible id like one that i can use wirelessly and one that id be able to use on my linux laptop
 
just not the creality pro 3 man. it's gonna hurt your wallet but not give you the quality you're expecting... i suggest you go check out bambu lab p1p. it's a little more expensive than creality but so far so good, it's been reliable.
 
For a solid mid range printer that works wirelessly and supports linux, check out the Brother HL-L2350DW if you just need black and white, or the HP OfficeJet Pro 8025e if you want color and scanning. Brother has good Linux support, while HP has decent drivers too but stay away from super cheap inkjets, they'll bleed you dry on ink. What are you mainly printing?

I'll throw in the prusa i3 mk3s plus into the mix, it's not the cheapest one, but a hell of a printer
 
all the popular 3D printers are compatible with linux, man. but I recommend the original prusa, it's great quality and don't really hurt your wallet too much

I suggest going for a Brother or HP printer. These brands are known for their good support with Linux systems and can connect wirelesly without issues. I've used a Brother printer myself and it has worked well. If you're looking for something budget-friendly,mid-range models from these brands are affordabel and come with all the essential features you'll need
 
Have several Prusa Mk3 variants and highly recommend them.

Am currently building a RatRig VCore 4 300 kit and would advise others to stay as far away from RatRig as possible.
 
I recommend the Anycubic Kobra 3 Max. With it's large volume (450mm X 450mm X 500mm) and under $500, and it makes printing models very easy and perfect prints straight out of the box.
